Run by painters for painters since 2006, the Marmite Prize for Painting is the only erratic, challenging and nomadic biennial open submission painting exhibition in the UK and Ireland. The prize is now open for submissions. The application deadline is Sunday March 20th.
The paintings will be subject to two stages, shortlisting for exhibition by the selection committee (by digital image), and subsequent judging (of works in person) by the judges.
Shortlisted artists will be notified by 20th April when we will make arrangements to collect the work from artists’ studios (UK mainland, Ireland and Northern Ireland only) free of charge.
International entries are welcome. Shortlisted international artists will be required to arrange transportation of works to London in May for the first exhibition, and collection of unsold works from the Highlanes Gallery in Drogheda, Ireland in September.
Winners will be announced at the opening of the exhibition at Block 336 in London on 3rd June 2016.
A full colour catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition, shortlisted artists will receive a free copy of the catalogue.
